Are sensory activities important for babies?

The simple answer is yes!

The longer reasoning is based on brain size. From the first day of life until a baby is 3 years old, brain size doubles. This is the most dynamic period of brain growth! We want neurons to be developed in a way that supports calm, focused learning. Sensory activities will provide activities that are not overwhelming, but organized and stimulating, meeting each individual baby’s needs right where they are in their learning needs and sensory tolerance.

Are sensory activities important for young children?

The simple answer is yes!

The longer answer is based on the fact that children are bombarded with sensory stimuli early in life. Daily sensory overload is common and kids’ nervous systems are on overdrive. This chronic stress can lead to anxious, moody and ill kids. Learning takes a back seat to chronic stress, and what could be a beautiful childhood is railroaded by unrealistic daily demands.
